Ans. AIIMS I attempted 193 questions.
PGI I did 470 options, which was risky and that’s probably why I didn’t make it
JIPMER I did 243.

Q. Do think there should be a different strategy for preparation of different entrance exams like AIIMS-PG or PGI?

Ans. The only difference is that PGI asks the same topics again and again,s o Previous Year Papers are very important. AIIMS has hardly any repeats whether Indirect or direct. So For PGI do Manoj Chaudhry well, for AIIMS You need a much wider scope, and just read through the previous questions, just in case they get repeated.

Q. Indian PG entrances are highly competitive, so to crack them students end up in appearing for multiple PG exams with some of them having the same exam with different slots and papers, please extend your views on this and their pros and cons of appearing in multiple PG entrances.

Ans. Before the NBE Exams I had felt the same thing, but then when I see My Ranks in both DNB and AIPG and also MY Friends ranks, I feel that the Prometric System must be doing something such that the Results are kind of similar to the other Exams like AIIMS PGI JIPMER. I would not comment much on this I have not seen the Trend over years and over a large number of people.

We are ending this interview with our hearty congratulations and best wishes for future to this talented person, Dr. Ayush Jain.
